multinational corporations, being negotiated in secret by Office of

other things will empower corporations to attack our environmental and
health safeguards and free banksters from oversight. \n\n9/17-Constitution

Agreement (TPP)?\nhttps://www.eff.org/issues/tpp\n\nThe Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP) is a secretive, multi-national trade agreement that
threatens to extend restrictive intellectual property (IP) laws across the
globe and rewrite international rules on its enforcement. The main problems
are two-fold:\n\n(1) IP chapter: Leaked draft texts of the agreement show
that the IP chapter would have extensive negative ramifications for
users’ freedom of speech, right to privacy and due process, and hinder
peoples' abilities to innovate.\n\n(2) Lack of transparency: The entire
process has shut out multi-stakeholder participation and is shrouded in
secrecy.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/09/13/18743209.php
